The seller is making a nice profit also.

I think it is AU with a weak strike. Very cool coin, I personally don't mind that it has been dipped with all the luster that was revealed.

This happens now and then. PCGS will have to fix it in their database.

Something to consider: the view of the steps depicted on the Jefferson Nickel is of the back entrance to Monticello and not the more dramatic front. As such, the rear has one less step than the front. If that top step, technically referred to as a "Stylobate" in classic architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylobate isn't counted as a step then no 6-step coin could exist.

Some methodologies use the word stylobate to describe only the topmost step of the temple's base, while stereobate is used to describe the remaining steps of the platform beneath the stylobate and just above the leveling course. Others, like John Lord,[4] use the term to refer to the entire platform.

Wikipedia has a very good bio on him.

I think we should be excited for this.

I wish him well in the confirmation process, and if approved, in the director's chair at the United States Mint.

Breaking news... this is really exciting and really positive for our hobby. Paul Hollis is a life-long coin collection and knowledgable numismatist. I've already spoken to him and his enthusiasm is infectious. Stay tuned.
